Information on Exclusivity Agreements and Why (or why not) to Sign Them

An exclusivity agreement is an agreement that limits a buyer from dealing with other sellers. The seller involved on an exclusivity agreement should be the sole provider of the goods that the buyer demands. It is a partnership that gives the seller exclusive rights to supply certain goods or services to the buyer. The underlying significant question here is: Why should a buyer sign up for an exclusivity agreement?

In every decision we make, there will be always be pros and cons. The advantage of an exclusivity agreement is always more apparent for the agent. It could offer a higher selling price for the agent. After relatively securing the time and money involved, agents can control the negotiation time and can easily turn down any offer. It can offer advertising opportunities for the agent. It can save time for the agent because the agreement allows no last minute switching of the buyer to other agents. No paperwork will be wasted at all.

So how does the agreement benefit the buyer?

Signing the exclusivity agreement guarantees better information for the buyer. The agent is automatically committed to providing details and information that will guide the buyer. The negotiations are done faster, saving time for both parties.

It is the buyer’s call to make the agreement happen. As a buyer, who will potentially invest a great amount of money, it is prudent that you weigh your pros and cons before signing an agreement with a specific agent. You can base your decision on how the agent presents the whole agreement. You can actually have the option to put the agreement within a specified amount of time to give you the power to terminate it when you decide it is no longer giving you a good advantage. The agent should also be able to present your benefits when you sign the exclusivity agreement.

Do your research, ask the experts and, if you must, hire a legal consultant when you are having dilemmas on whether or not to sign an exclusivity agreement. You will be investing the money you’ve worked hard for; the lack of knowledge is the last thing you need.
